BLUEFIELD, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A Mercer County man is in jail after getting into a fight with another man.
According to Bluefield Police, on August 12, 2021, they responded to a fight in progress in the area of Grants Supermarket on Bluefield Ave. One of the police officers requested EMS due to one of the male victim’s having a broken arm and multiple knots and bruises on his face. Another officer observed the suspect, Johnathon Juszczyk, walking down the sidewalk; he had his shirt in his hand and was yelling, “I am not a Fag” while walking away. The officer instructed Juszczyk to walk to him, and he did. The officer observed a small amount of blood on his right arm, and he had dirt on his back and chest. Mr. Juszczyk advised, “I can’t take people calling me a fag anymore.”
